The Witcher 3 Expansions are “Almost the Size of The Witcher 2”

In an interview with Gamereactor, during the Gamelab 2015 panel, CD Projekt RED’s Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, shared a few details about what we can expect from the upcoming DLCs for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

“The expansion packs will be whole new storylines with all the elements you’ve got in the main story (like cutscenes, new characters, new items, new Gwent cards) and many, many more. They will be quite long. The first expansion will be around 10 hours and the second expansion will be around 20 hours… and I think it’s possible that they will be bigger, because it’s always like this (that when we plan some time or hours, it’s twice or something like this), but I’m not promising anything right now. And even now, if you sum up this 10 to 20 hours and you compare it to The Witcher 2, it’s almost the size of The Witcher 2. And it will be cool, it will be new stories, it will be very emotional stories and I think that people will be happy.”

The Hearts of Stone DLC launches sometime this autumn, while Blood and Wine will be available early 2016.

A new mod for the PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been made available, named E3FX which as the name suggests it tries to mimic the E3 2013 trailer. You can check out and download the mod here.
